Default idle problems...

Okay my car is suppose to idle at .7 rpm, i have about 300 miles until i have to get my oil changed.
Sometimes when i idle My rpm drop to around .4 or .3 and shakes pretty hard..

Does this have to do with anything with the oil change?

doubtful. i would say check your iacv, dizzy, cap & rotor button, spark plugs, plug wires, and fuel injectors. Those are your main things to look at. pm me if you need any help with these thing, based on your post you don't seem to have a lot of knowledge on this, which is fine, as long as you are willing to learn.

i would also reccomend checking the throttle position sensor as this was the problem for my crazy idle on my 92 hatch.

It can also be your IACV, you might have to adjust the screw.

How many miles does your car have on it? You could seafoam it... I did it last week on my 94 ex and it made it idle better right away... It also has 150k miles on it tho

if it was the screw it'd be low all the time, it wouldn't sometimes drop.
